Abscess MRSA after hip replacement

I had hip surgery almost 3 years ago, Nurses pulled it out of joint in the hospital putting me on a bedpan.I didn't realize it until I went back 2 weeks later and had to have a second one 15 days later. In September an access came up on my hip where incision is. They did MRI and x rays and aspiration to hip to be sure no infection to the bone and that was ruled out. It has swollen back up and abcess is running again. I have been given 4 rounds of antibiotics to clear it up and every time I finish antibiotic it comes back. Has anyone suffered anything like this?

@galemoose Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect You will see that I moved your post to a discussion where members are experiencing this very thing. $ rounds of antibiotics is rough. Have they offered any other course of action?
